Women connecting through culture in Galiwin'ku
Galiwin'ku Women's Space Aboriginal Corporation are Community Quick Response Grant recipients.
The community-owned organisation applied for a grant to help support their community event. The funding enabled 45 Yolŋu women to celebrate, connect and share stories to strengthening community relationships and promoting women's wellbeing. Over 100 people attended the successful event. Community Quick Response Grants can be used for stand-alone, one-off community or cultural events or purchase of goods and services to:
- Increase social and cultural connection, celebration and wellbeing.
- Strengthen connections to Country. ☑ Strengthen cultural practice, maintenance and preservation (including traditional language and passing on traditional knowledge).
- Increase or improve Aboriginal participation in sporting, recreational, artistic, musical, cultural, educational, or social and emotional wellbeing activities.
GWS' programs are co-designed with Elders.
"The AINT grant played a vital role in making our event possible, providing the resources needed to bring women together in a culturally safe and welcoming environment." - GWS Staff

AIG were recipients of Aboriginal Investment NT’s Community Quick Response Grant to fund the launch day, featuring TEABBA and a community BBQ to celebrate the Impact report release. The positive social outcomes of this report are tangible. Clean clothes lead to better health for the whole community, resulting in better social outcomes. The program produces over 1,200 machine washes each month across Barunga, Casuarina, Angurugu, Milyakburra and Gunbulunya. More laundries will come online soon in Yarrawonga, Wurrumiyanga and Yirrkala. 25 Community Quick Response Grants have been approved for up to $20,000 to date.
